Watch out for falling JEWS!

And apparently everybody’s out drinking, shaking their graggers, also called “ra’ashan” (noisemaker), wearing crazy hats, and driving like maniacs.

At least that’s what we’re seeing in Hollywood today.

Inside the temples, this is about the only fun holiday – during the reading of the Magailla (the whole Magilla???), every time (bad guy) Haman’s name is mentioned, everybody in the congregation boos, hisses, rattles a noisemaker, or otherwise cuts loose.

I was crossing Franklin a few hours ago and a van full of Hassidic Jews pulled up, hooting and hollering as techno thumped out. Two guys hopped outside and danced around the van before getting back in. As the van pulled away, I saw that one guy was hanging onto the back of freakin’ van!
